摘要：
The surface morphology of different dewetting states of thin polymer films (polystyrene) on top of silicon substrates was investigated. With diffuse X-ray scattering in the region of total external reflection a high in-plane resolution was achieved. We observe a new nano-dewetting structure which coexists with the well known mesoscopic dewetting structures of holes, cellular pattern and drops. This nano-dewetting structure consists of small dimples with a diameter in the nanometer range. It results from the dewetting of a remaining ultra-thin polymer layer and can be explained with theoretical predictions of spinodal decomposition. The experimental results of the scattering study are confirmed with scanning-force microscopy measurements. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
